LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville men's golfers Max Kennedy and Jiri Zuska have been named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Team, the league announced Thursday.

Both players have been instrumental in leading the Cardinals to bid at the Morgan Hill Regional in San Jose, Calif. The Cardinals are the No. 5 seed in the Morgan Hill Regional, which begins play on Monday, May 15..
Â
The Men's Golf All-ACC Team consisted of 15 members and was decided based on a combination of rankings and a coaches' vote. The top 13 spots were selected using the average of the Golfweek/Sagarin and Golfstat rankings released immediately following NCAA Regional selections. The individual medalist(s) in the Conference Championship is automatically a member of the All-Conference Team. The remaining two members of the All-Conference Team were determined by the coaches' vote.

Kennedy, a junior, has been the team's top player all season, posting a 70.93 stroke average, which ranks in the top five in school history for single-season stroke average. The Dublin, Ireland native is riding a remarkable streak where he has shot under par in six-straight tournaments and has registered seven finishes in the top 10 in 11 team events. He owns six consecutive top-10 finishes heading into the regional, including his first collegiate win at the Aggie Invitational. He was recently named to the Palmer Cup's International Team.
Zuska, a fifth-year senior, is playing his best golf at the end of the season, finishing sixth at the recent ACC Championship and also was tied for second at the Aggie Invitational. Zuska has totaled a 71.52 stroke average this season and owns four top-10 finishes this year, including eighth place finishes at the Bearcat Invitational and the Williams Cup in the fall.
